@John: Thanks for sharing your inputs. Are you also going to do this for the Apps tier? @Dave: Thanks for sharing your inputs. @Job: Thanks for the reference, actually I was also looking at two other notes.. Using Oracle VM with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i or Release 12 (Doc ID 465915.1) Certified Software on Oracle VM (Doc ID 464754.1) Hardware Vendor Virtualization Technologies on non x86/x86-64 Architectures and Oracle E-Business Suite (Doc ID 794016.1) @Niall, Leonid: Thanks for clarifying the licensing part it's really helpful, I have actually skimmed on the http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.html and also on the apps licensing document, we'll have a meeting with the apps team regarding the modifications and other stuff they're planning to do with the database. I just really don't know how really strict the licensing would be for a "small" modification on the forms,reports / database. -- Karl Arao karlarao.wordpress.com karlarao.tiddlyspot.com
